Big Ten Pitches Replay

The Big Ten was completely satisfied with its instant replay experiment this past season, and has asked NCAA officials to approve it for all conferences. "After a full season, we believe that instant replay adds to the effective administration of this great game of college football," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said Thursday.

Out of the 43 times replay was used, 21 calls were overturned. The only calls that could be overturned were those with indisputable video evidence. Game time was not noticeably affected, only adding three minutes to each game.

Expect the Big Ten to "experiment" again next year if the instant reply is not accepted by the NCAA.
